We need to remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. So we should remove the "Please Submit The Following To Apply ..." and the "Review of applications will begin..." and the EEO statement, background investigation, E-Verify, open application file, unsolicited resumes, link, copyright, posted by... Also remove duplicated lines.
We need to preserve substantive information: location, job category, employee type, description (including teaching duties, responsibilities, class size, location benefits), preferred qualifications, minimum qualifications, maybe "About the College" summary.
We need sections: About the role? Could be description of role. Responsibilities: teaching four courses per semester, curriculum development, committees, college-wide events, possibly online. Requirements: maybe qualifications? But we have Preferred Qualifications and Minimum Qualifications. Could combine into Requirements section? The instruction: Use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can have sections: About the role (description of position), Responsibilities (duties), Requirements (maybe minimum qualifications?), Qualifications (preferred qualifications?), Skills (maybe not present), Benefits (maybe location/college environment?), Pay (not present), Schedule (maybe teaching load? but not explicit schedule like hours). We should only include sections if posting has real specific content.
We have location info (Spartanburg, SC) and description of location benefits (city size, climate, amenities). That could go under Benefits? Or maybe under About the role? The instruction says Benefits section only if posting actually states them. It does mention location benefits, climate, etc. Those could be considered benefits of location. So we could include a Benefits section with location and community attributes.
Pay: not mentioned, so omit.
Schedule: not explicit schedule like hours per week, but teaching load is four courses per semester. Could be considered schedule? Might be considered responsibilities. Probably not schedule.
Skills: not explicit list of skills; maybe teaching philosophy, experience with underserved populations. Could be under Qualifications.
We need to avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present.
We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences.
